This was posted in June but I thought it would be good to remind people of just how nasty Pelosi is. The original thread can be found here.
House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., alleged Sunday that the August 6 terrorist alert received by President Bush contained a key detail that was omitted from a similar briefings given to Congress.
"What we saw in Congress in that same 24-hour period did not have the reporting that referenced hijacking," she told NBC's "Meet the Press." "That was a distinction between what Congress saw and what the White House saw."
Though Pelosi said that she didn't think the Aug. 6 briefing was enough to "warrant action on the part of the president," she went on to hint that Bush overlooked key evidence that might have predicted the 9-11 attacks.
"I think the distinction has to be made that for some reason, on that early day in August, someone in the intelligence community decided to put all of those events on one piece of paper," Pelosi observed.
The California Democrat stressed that while congressional intelligence committees had received much of the same information that was in Bush's pre-Sept. 11 briefing, "We had seen it over a period of time. We did not see it in the aggregate as the president did that day."
While some Democrats have backed away from earlier suggestions that Bush knew enough to prevent the Sept. 11 attacks, Pelosi joins a cadre of liberals who continue to insinuate otherwise.
On Wednesday, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said that historians will judge Bush accountable for the 9-11 attacks because they happened on his watch. (See: Dodd: 9-11 Attacks Happened on Bush's Watch)
This is really too much to hope for in a few short days of glory. Can you imagine this wealthy liberal psycho-b*tch as the next House minority leader? She is so whacked, so devisive, so insane ...that the Republicans will domininate Congress for a generation.
I cannot believe the demonRATS are so patently stupid as to allow this evil loon to lead them. I even hear that the Clintons are trying to INCREASE Terry McAweful's power as head of the DNC. Wow!!
I hope you mean that from a strategic, rather than a gentlemanly point of view!
As an SF liberal she is 'deeply involved' in the corrupt DEM schemes. She is worth of attack on those grounds alone. I agree, though. The recent effectiveness of conservative attack cautions allowing her a vote before she is rhetorically dismembered.
I can't wait till she takes over; she and Hillary! will be such fun playmates for us.
I know. Ain't it cool?
Yeah, she's a babe...
I know. Ain't it cool?
And, she's been married for umpteen years, and has five kids and some grandkids.
It's just weird to see someone who fits this profile, and yet is such a ravin' FemiNazi.
Er....um....ahem.....
You have to be kidding.
Yeah, we don't want to say anything that might mess up her chances. She'll be the best thing that happened to the Republican party since, well, the elections three days ago.
Pelosi is attractive, and poised, etc.
Then she opens her mouth, and Stalin lives.
